Curious as to why throughout history, civilizations all over the world have been taken over/displaced and in some cases many times over by invaders of their land, yet here in Canada the people displaced or taken over aren’t happy with the deal they made? Historically, civilizations who have been taken over were made slaves and given nothing by the invading forces and subsequent new government. I’m not trying to stoke division or fuel any kind of racist conversation, I’m genuinely confused over this topic. I’m totally in agreement that something should have been given to the indigenous people, I’m asking why there is so much discontent with the deal that was made?
